On Tuesday, President Donald Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s comments on Ukraine, dismissing them as \u201cnonsense\u201d and reaffirming U.S. support for Kyiv with additional weapons. Expressing frustration over the prolonged conflict, Trump told reporters during a televised cabinet meeting, \u201cWe hear a lot of nonsense from Putin, to be honest. He\u2019s always polite, but in the end, it means nothing.\u201d Trump reiterated that he was “very unhappy” with Putin since their phone call last week made no progress on the Ukraine peace deal that the US president has pushed for since returning to power. Asked about his interest in a bill proposed by the Senate for further sanctions on Russia, Trump said: “I’m looking at it very strongly.” Trump’s criticism of Putin came a day after he said he would send more weapons to Ukraine, in a reversal of Washington’s announcement last week that it was halting some arms shipments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
